49ers GM John Lynch On Swapping Picks With The Bears

The 49ers and Bears swapped the Nos. 2 and 3 picks in the draft, and the Bears used the selection on Mitch Trubisky.
The 49ers also received the Bears' 2017 3rd & 4th Round picks (#67 and #111) and its 2018 3rd Round pick.
GM John Lynch says he would've taken Reuben Foster at No. 3 if Bears had taken Solomon Thomas.
The 49ers gave up their second-round pick (No. 34) and the fourth-rounder they got from the Bears earlier in the day (No. 111) for the Seahawks' first-round pick (No. 31). Niners then selected LB Reuben Foster from Alabama.

NFL Draft 2026 • Round 2, Pick 33 After trading out of Round 1 twice, the 49ers open Day 2 by going receiver — and landing exactly the physical, blocking-first wideout Kyle Shanahan's offense is built to unleash.
